O R D E R

This criminal original petition has been filed seeking for police protection only to conduct survey in the property belonging to the petitioner.

Admittedly, the second respondent is the adjacent land owner and he is preventing the survey from being conducted by claiming right over the property. This dispute has to be necessarily resolved only before the Civil Court. The police cannot give any protection, since it involves civil right between the parties.

This Criminal Original Petition is disposed of by giving liberty to the petitioner to work out his remedy before https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

the appropriate Civil Court and seek for appropriate relief before the Civil Court.
